Viggen posted:No, you want the same as I do. '78 99 Turbo with louvers. In silver. Huh, didn't realize those came out in the seventies. Pretty cool styling for that time period. Viggen posted:EVERY thread is a SAAB thread. What are we gonna do with you guys? *80s laugh track*

I mean, I've seen dumb posts from a number of people, probably myself included, but nothing to warrant some of the abuse I see handed out. To be fair, even that abuse is milder/more reasonable than the majority of forums out there.

goatse guy posted:I have my range set to ten miles because anything more than that is long-distance to me. Sorry Viggen. Is that a knock against the reliability of Saabs, or their suitability for "long-distance" drives? 10 miles is about how far we got between water top-ups during the TSD, come to think of it. The hood on the 900 I was in was definately hinged over the bumper. I have no idea how difficult a front-end swap might be.

Darchangel posted:For the record, I think Saabs are odd, but that's cool. I respect a car company that tried to do it a little differently than everyone else was doing it. I'm on the same page. They were far more interesting than many automakers, especially their older stuff. It's too bad their couldn't have been some kind of hybrid joining of corporations with Volvo to make an AWD Viggen R wagon

I did the long distance thing several times. Every time I say, "Never again," and this time I actually mean it. Maybe. I hope. I can't deal with that emotional mess again.

I will drive halfway across the country for a rust free M816 or 5mt/4x4 subaru justy (DON'T JUDGE ME) for the right price but yeah no loving way am I ever for any reason doing long distance again, ever. Hell, for both I might drive all the way across the country, because much like 14's honda, a justy is somewhere between "road legal UTV" and "little tykes car" in size, so I could drive home with it hanging from the hook pretty easily

two forty seems to exist to dump on people - all over an electrical engineer in the OSHA.jpg thread, and now Viggen here. I wouldn't take what he / she / it says at all seriously. Except to note that Two Forty seems to target reliable contributors of actual content to threads, so I guess you're doing OK in that regard, Viggen.

That I exist as a thorn in the site of someone so inconsiquential by merely existing and evoking this vitriol- I must be found something right. Hell, I don't even know what avatar is even bring mentioned. I sure was shown. Keep on hating you mad-at-the-internet manchild.

It was that long, needlessly/ridiculously hateful redtitle with the fairly large font. You only had it for a few days IIRC.

I bought a title/av for a guy in GBS that was some furry poo poo, and he had it for months because he was an old guy on dialup with avatars turned off. Douche deserved it.

Buying angry avs is pretty passive-aggressive IMHO. Some posters view them as a badge of honor for the recipient - it means they genuinely pissed off someone on the Internet enough for that person to drop  on an impotent statement.I'd rather spend the money on a six pack of good beer and a bag of snacks.

I'd have worn my angry av with pride if it was at least funny in a mocking way, but it said something like "is probibily actually a rapist in real life" or something horrifying and i had to change it. So they got MY in the end.

Viggen posted:My all-time favorite is still "I use road cones to funnel hot tar into my rear end in a top hat" or something to that effect. That was Lowtax's response to some crazy goon who made a post about getting jealous because his girlfriend hugged her father or something and how he could tell his girlfriend how he felt and that she wasn't allowed to hug her dad anymore. Naturally Lowtax told him to funnel hot tar up his rear end in a top hat with a road-cone.
